95 MCP tools for iOS — build, test, simulate, automate UI, capture, and diagnose.
If you already use Xcforge, the xcforge mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. 95 MCP tools for iOS — build, test, simulate, automate UI, capture, and diagnose.
An MCP server and CLI for iOS development — build, test, automate, and diagnose from any AI agent or terminal.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Category — CountBuild — 6Test — 7Simulator — 18Screenshots — 3Logs — 4Console — 3SPM — 5Accessibility — 5Diagnosis — 10Session — 3Homebrew — The Homebrew tool exposed by this serverskills on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Configuration is passed through the environment: XCFORGE_WDA_DIR. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Xcforge's toolset — Category, Build, Test and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by justinthevoid; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
